William and Mary Dalton, man and wife, wero charged with being disorderly at the door of St. Margaret's Work house, York-street, Westminster, and the woman with doing ten shillings worth of damage. William Robert Morley, the master of the house, said that the defendants were there last night and applied for admission. The man told him that he had been an inmate of their other workhouse at Kensington, and had left there only that morning. Complainant offered him an order for readmission at Kensington, but he refused to take it. There was a great deal of trouble with the poor people, who all wanted to be in the town house in York-street. Mr Ingham—How is that? Complainant—They like it better, and we really can't have them in York-street. Mr Ingham—Why do they like it better ? Ccmplainant—Thoy are not so isolated as at Kensington They are nearer their acquaintances, and there is neces• sarily, from the difference of size of the two houses, a dif• ference of classification of the inmates. Mr Ingham—.they prefer the society of York-street to that of Kensington. Complainant—They want to remain here, and we have orders not to admit them. After I had given these people an answer, the woman, who had been drinking, became very violent, and throwing granite stones at the windows, did 10s. worth of damage. I always do the best I can for these poor people, but we were full, and all I could do was to offer them an order for the other house. The woman denied that she had done the amount o 1 damage, and said she ought to have been admitted at York , street. She was commited for ten days; her husband was dis charged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CASK-Box ROBBERY.—EIIen Murray, a young woman, was charged before Mr Knox with stealing a cashbox, con taining a £5 Bank note, some gold and silver, and some papers, the property of Mrs Cecile Labroussart, of Little Newport—street. Mrs Labroussart said the prisoner called on her a few days ago, when she asked her to take a cup of tea with her. Shortly after the prisoner left, and on going into the bed room she missed her cashbox, containing a £5 Bank note, £3 in gold, some silver, and some papers, amongst others a receipt for a business which she had recently purchased in Little Newport-street. In answer to Mr Knox, the prosecutrix said she went into the bedroom a minute after the prisoner left. She had placed great confidence in the prisoner, who had formerly been her servant. Mr Matthew Keogh, of 30, Great-street, Andrew-street, said, having been informed by a young man, a sweetheart of the prisoner's, that he had seen her at Bethnal-green with a new straw hat and boots, he afterwards went to Bethnal•green and there saw the prisoner. He asked the prisoner whether she had Madame's papers, and she said she had, but had been robbed of the money. He then took the prisoner to the prosecutrix's in a cab, and the prisoner was then given into custody, Alfred Oliver, 343 A, said, on the charge being read over at the station the prisoner said there were not £9 in the oashbox, but only £7. Mr Knox inquired if the cashbox had come into the pos session of the police P The constable said it was brought to the Vine-street police station by a woman living at Bethnal-green, where the prisoner had left it. Mr Knox remanded the prisoner. ROBBING A CONTRACTOR.—SamueI Eastop, a labourer in the employ of Mr Docwra, of Balls Pond, Islington, con tractor for gas and water works, was charged before Mr Knox with stealing some lead from a trench at some works being carried on in Oxford-street by Mr Docwra for the Chartered Gas Company. Mr Robert Drummond, foreman to Mr Docwra, met the prisoner about six o'clock in the evening in Soho. square, with sonic lead in his hand. The prisoner not giving satis factory answers to Mr Drummond's questions, Mr Drum mond gave him into custody. The prisoner said that when met by. Mr Drummond he was going to the melting pot, but Mr Drummond said that could not be true, as the prisoner was in Sutton-street, 300 yards from the melting, pot, which was in Oxford-street. A constable said that when Mr Drummond gave the prisoner in charge, he asked Mr Drummond not to press it. - Mr Drummond said that Mr Docwra had been several times robbed of late by men in his employ, and a man was committed from this court for two months a few days ago. The prisoner, who again asserted that he was on the way to the melting pot, which was, again denied by Mr Drummond, was remanded. THAMES. A BRACE or BAR► Bovs.—Edward Dunn and Samuel Walker, each aged 14, were charged with stealing a new horse cloth, valued 17s. Police-sergeant Briden, No. 4 K, saw the prisoners last night, shortly before 11 o'clock, come from East Mount street into Raven-row, Whitechapel. Dunn was carrying a bundle under his left arm. Briden asked him what he had got, to which he replied " Washing," and threw down a large horse-cloth. He then ran away and escaped. He was followed by Walker, who ran into the arms of a police constable, and was secured, Dunn afterwards called on the father of Walker to state that his son was in custody. Mr Walker had previously heard of his son's arrest, and a description of Dunn, who was given into custody. Dunn said that he picked up the horse cloth in the Hackney•road. It was a new one, and apparently had never been used. In answer to the magistrate, Briden said both prisoners were known thieves. Mr Walker, boot and shoe manufacturer, carrying on business in Spring-garden-place, Stepney, said one of the prisoners was his son, and a very wicked boy, who had given him much trouble. The boy had been 21 days in prison, forsook a good home for bad company, and a week since sold his clothes off his back. He would most willingly pay for the detention of his son in a reformatory school, for he was quite incorrigible, and there was no hopes of his reformation at home. The magistrate remanded the prisoners until Thursday. He would then decide on their punishment. EXPOSING GOODS FOR SALE OUTSIDE SHOPS,—Mary Herrington, 37, tailoress, 18, John's-place, Stepney, was charged with stealing a piece of linen measuring 12 yards, and valued at 18s, the property of Mr Bennett, 10, Lime house-causeway. The prosecutor said the piece of linen produced was stolen just outside his door at 6 o'clock yesterday evening. He went in search of the thief, and on returning to the shop he found the prisoner in custody and the property re covered. John Slade, a butcher, 9, Limehouse•causeway, stated that he svw the prisoner steal the piece of linen. He went after her, and when he overtook her he told her a gentleman round the corner wanted to see her. She said what for ; to which he replied, for this piece of linen you have under your shawl. She said, " I did not take it, I had it given to me." He then took her back to Mr. Bennett's shop. Mr. Partridge asked if the linen was hanging outside the draper's shop. Mr. Bennett—Yes, it was, sir. Mr. Partridge—lt is highly improper to expose goods for sale outside shops, and lead people into temptation. Mr. Bennett—We can't help it, sir, we cannot get a living unless we do it. Mr. Partridge—You can get a living without this dan gerous practice. It ought to be prevented. The prisoner said she was guilty. She would not have taken the linen if she had been sober. Cillingham, a constable, No. 324 K, said the prisoner knew what she was about. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoner to three montha' imprisonment and hard !about. DEATH OP GENERAL SIR JAMES HENRY REY.

MURDER OF A SCOTCH SEAMAN IN PORTUGAL.— By the official log-book of the British vessel Mary and Annie, of Perth, delivered to Mr Whitfield, shipping master at Newcastle-on-Tyne, on the 2d inst., it appears that while the vessel was at Pomaron in May last, an ordi nary seaman, named John Rodger, aged 19, a native of Ayr, had, on the evening of the 28th, at about eight o'clock, gone on shore without leave, and at about half-past nine a cry was heard en board ship from the shore that a man was overboard. A boat was immediately lowered and search made, but nothing could be seen of the supposed drown ing person. Early, however, on the morning of the 29th, the master got information from the authorities that the dead body of a sailor was lying on the beach, and on the master proceeding to it he found that it was the body of the seaman Rodgers, whose hands were tied by a cord, and two severe wounds were observed on the left side of the temple, leaving no doubt whatever that the poor fellow had been cruelly murdered. The Portuguese authorities having heard of the circumstance at once set about making inquiries, and ordered an inquest to be held, The British Vice Consul at Villa Real is watching the case on behalf of the British Uovernment,—Perthshire Journal, Business don, iool 100 1 THE SUN, SititrURDAY EVENING, AU'G,UST• 13, ' 1864, MARKETS—This Day.

Brinton, and other magistrates, a German seaman, named Adolphe Bjornsen, about 35 years old, was charged with Adolphe, wilfully an murderingG the c apta i n o f th e barque tausus- English reg i stered vessel, on the high seas, on the 21st June last. It appeared from the evi dence of the first mate, Mr Peterson, that the ship left London on the 7th of May for China. When they were within about five days' sail of Pernambuco, the first mate was in his cabin—the time being 9.30 p.m.—when he heard a noise proceeding from the captain's cabin. He imme diately went there, and found the prisoner in the cabin with the captain. As soon as the prisoner saw him, he raised a pistol and fired, but the shot missed him. He then went again on deck, the prisoner following him, having still ,a double-barrelled revolver in his hand. Shortly afterwards the captain came on deck and asked where the second mate Prisoner was standing near at the time, and he was (meaning the prisoner), and whether he had not been y shot the captain through the head. The captain fell, and after lingering for about half an hour, died. The prisoner in the meantime had betaken turned secured himself to the captains hi 1 , ' ca....niw&Lere he remained for a con siderableg unable to get at him, as he had eb taPi roundnt i e m d e' a ndt possession hedcerleibwe r o ba t e ' tie a al l all the firearms.

At the close of the first mate's evide n ce the pris oner was remanded for a week, in order that the register of the `easel might be produced, Mr Mackey, who appeared for the prisoner, having expressed a doubt as to whether it was authorised to carry the English flag. TAFFER, THE MATE OF THE VT -.,OWERY LAND.— It will be in the recollection of our traders that, on the conviction of the pirates of th e F lowery Land, who were executed at the Old Bailey, an appeal was made on behalf of Wm.

Those who subscribed to Taffer's necessities will be pleased to learn that, through their kindness, he has had the means so to apply himself as to pass a cre d itable exami• nation, and obtain a second mate's certifi cate. Taffer, we understand, is likely to obtain an appointment to a first class passenger ship about to sail from the port of Lon don. THE GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION AT CHILWORTH. —Yesterday Mr Woods, coroner for the Western Chilworth, connected with division i i s n i o v n e s o t t i g S a u ti r o r n e y into t e o s u t m h e e d c a i t r e t u h m e s P t e a r n c e y e s A on:n. the death of Charles Mansell and John Farnfield, who were killed by the explosion at the Chilworth Powder Mills on Friday, the sth inst. The Coroner, in summing up, re marked that the evidence did not show that blame attached to any one. The machinery had been properly manufac tured and put up. The jury, after consulting for about 15 minutes, returned a verdict "That the deceased met with their deaths by an explosion of gunpowder at Mr Sharp's mills, but that the cause of the explosion was unknown." British Archaeological Association, IPsWicu, Aug. 12, At half-past eight this morning the pally CIE'. sembled at the White Horse, where omnibuses were in readiness to take them to Helmingham, and after a very pleasant drive by roads by the side of which are waving cornfields, they drove up to the fine old hall, the seat of J. Tollemache, Esq., M.P., where they were met by the Rev. G. Cardew, the rector. Helmingham Hall is a beautiful specimen of early Tudor architecture, built round a quadrs,ng!e, and surrounded by a moat which is still filled with water, and the drawbridge of which is drawn up every night. Mr. Cardew said there was a tradition that it had been so for eight centuries, but it was certain for 300 years the operation had not been once omitted. The Hall was, the rev, gentleman said, built in the reign of Henry VIII. by the second Lionel Tollemache. Before his time Helmingham, and the Hall which occupied the place of the pre sent, were owned by the Joyces, and before them by the De BJckings, and the next previous owners were the Nuns of Flixton, who were the successors of the Nuns of Campsey Ashe. In Domesday Book he found that it belonged to the brother of William ,he Conqueror, the celebrated Ode, Bishop of Bayonne. In Edward the First's time it was probably the property of Lis Queen, Eleanor. The present hall was built on the site of the old hall, which was built in the twelfth century by Bartholomew de Creyke, and he had no doubt that there was before that an Anglo Saxon farm at this spot, and from the quan tity of Roman remains he had found he believed there had been a Roman villa there. He had found Roman remains in every part of the parish ; he had no doubt whatever that there was a Roman village on this spot. One of the Tollemaches entertained Queen Elizabeth in the year 1561. There was a tradition that the Queen stood as godmother to Tollemache's child, but it was not the case, the child having died befora her Majesty arrived, and a sort of ceremony was performed over the body. Passing through the paved inner quadrangle the visitors entered the fine hail of the house, in which is a beautifully carved oak fireplace; indeed, the wood-carving throughout the house is very fine. In the dining-room were ex hibited some leathern " blackjacks " of very for midable dimensions, which it was said are still occasionally used; the fireplace is a very handsome specimen of carving. The wal_ l , s of the drawingeroorn, as aro those of the d; .n i ng . room, are hung with family portraits , E nd there are some tables beautifully inlaid with silver, ivory, &c., and other interesting artieles of furniture, amongst them being a curious and beautiful inlaid cabinet of Flemish wotkmanship, In an ante room, between th© drawing-room and library, a glass case, containing a lute, which belonged to Queen Elizabeth, and which she presented to the lady of the owner of the ha ;1, on the occasion of a visit, and also a small, but valuable collection of coins. There was al.so an ancient spin net. The most curious is ar. Anglo-Saxon manu script of the 9th century, Alfred the Great's trans• lation of " Orosius," and a copy of the first book printed in England by Caxton, " The Play of Chess." In several of the rooms are portraits of Queen Eli zabeth, and in the drawing-room is one of Mary, Queen of William 111. The bedroom which was occupied by Queen Elizabeth during her visit was then visited, and some curious old china having been inspected, the party left the Hall. The church was next visited, a stop hei'eg made at one of the immense oaks with whir'a the park abounds. The part of the park sirrrounding the church, was a wood belonging to. the church. Mr Cardew said the contract fo;„ the erection of the tower of the church was existence--it was be tween the builder and ohn Talmidge, as the Tolle mph° family wer r ., then called, and the sum for which it wasb':lltwas .£3O. It was dated 1487, that is, in tte reign of Henry VII., but it was not comPle t ed till Henry Vlll.'s time. The church vas bu i 'a on the old cemetery, and in digging the graves at the present time they dug through the old graves. At the base of the tower is the inscrir,Lion "Scanclit ad Esther Virgo puerpera virgulr, Jesse " " She mounts to Heaven, the virgin, mother, the rod of Jesse." The church consists of a n'..ve and chancel, and is benched throughout, and contains some very fine monuments to members of the Tollemaohe Alter leaving the chrach the party proceeded to a field, from the formation of which Mr Cardew said he felt certain thd there had been an ancient tu• mules there. Ile set two men to work digging, and at once they came upon a large quantity of pottery! ITihich some thought to be Anglo-Saxon, but tte majority of them thought them Romano• Br:tish. He also found a spearhead and the jaw. bones of some animals. He had made eloven ex cavations in other parts of the field, and found re mains in each. He found the site of a house in which were Roman remains, a few Saxon and some me. difeval, and the house ceased to exist is about the reign of Henry VII. At another spot a gold coin of Vespasian was picked up by one of his parish ioners. Mr Cardew then led the way to a moat at the bottom of the field. At the rectory Mr Cardew then exhibited the remains he found just above, and with the bodied in the ceme tery, and stated that he believed the date of the cemetery was certainly not so late as the later Norman occupation, but probably of the early Roman occupation, or before that time. He also showed the remains (Roman and medialval) found in the Pond Field. The eemetary itself (near the churchyard) was next visited. Here a great deal of excavation has been going on, and the skeletons exhibited. There was no coffin or any sign of one to be found any where in the cemetery. There is a very large num ber of skeletons lying very close, many of them perfect—one of a mother with that of her child— about five or six years old. One body was buried in a mutilated condition, the head cut off, th e vertebrae of the neck on the bosom, the head sup ported in its pla ce by a tint ; this was evid ent l y the body of a man of enormous power, the bones being very large. Above the bodies the usual black funereal pottery, some fragments of querns, and some bones of animals were found. It was now time to return to Ipswich ; `which was reached at a quarter past one o'clock. At two o'clock the omnibuses were again oalled into requisition to drive to Orwell-park, Nacton, the seat of the President, G, Tomline, Esq., M.P. SUP2OSED SUICIDE IN KENSINGTON-GARDENS.— Yesterday Dr. Lankester instituted an inquiry at the Hall Arms, Paddington, relative to the death of Fre derick Seholfied, aged 31, who was found dead and shot through the head in a shrubbery in Kensington -gardens. The deceased was identified by his brother. Witness heard of his death last Monday evening, and his opinion was that he committed suicide. He came to that conclusion owing to the discovery of a letter at his lodgings in Short-street, city. The coroner read the letter as follows :—" Mother Dear,—These lines are the last my hand will trace, and when your eye meets them I shall have passed into another existence. It has come to this at last, and now I see how mistaken I have been—how I have been playing a losing game for years. I sea it all now it is too late. Forgive me if you can for my conduct to you and everybody; there is much that requires forgiveness. I have lost all but life, and that I have rendered worthless. Wearied, sick, disgusted, and hopeless, I must end it. I have delayed too long already, and go to find rest if I can. Forgive me for all, and forgot if you can. God bless you. I know I am wrong,very wrong, but I want to go. God bless you, mother, and forgive me. From your miserable FRED." The witness added that the deceased was not a good son. He had been a cripple from birth. John Bunston, parkkeeper No. 39, de posed to finding the body at 4 o'clock in the morning of Monday last. He heard the repert of a pistol on Sunday night after the gates were closed. lie a?d other officera could not then discover the body although within 20 yards of the spot where it was found the next morning. Mr J. S. Beale of Paddington, examined the head of de ceased, and found that the hair had been singed. Judg ing from the wound, he believed that death must have been instantaneous. After some remarks from the coroner, the jury returned a verdict of "Suicide under temporary insanity." QUEENSLAND EMIGRATION.—The ship Fiery Star, 2,500 tons burden, belonging to Messrs. T.

Leamington and Warwickshire Hunt 22 Sixty Children Poisoned at Liverpool,—One Death, (lion the Itverpool .Mercury o r yesterday,) About one o'clock yesterday the greatest excitement pre vailed in the neighbourhood of Parliament-street and Greenland-street, in consequence of a rumour being preva lent that upwards of sixty children had been poisoned by eating some obnoxious beans, Unfortunately the rumour proved to be too well founded. It appears that between one and two o'clock a little girl named Mary Ann Foster was taken to the Southern Hospital by acme females. The child was in great suffering, and the surgeons of the hospital were informed that she had been eating some beans which she had gathered from a heap of rubbish that had been thrown from a cart on some vacant land in Greenland-street. Dr. Cameron and Drs. Wollaston and Evans, the resident house surgeons, immediately attended the child ; but before they had time to administer the remedies considered necessary for her about 20 other persons arrived with children in their arms, suffering in a similar way. The medical gentlemen seeing that the case was an urgent one, and that the children were evidently suffering from an irritant poison, brought into requisition the whole resources of the institution, and antidotes were applied to counteract the effects of the dele terious stuff which the children had taken. The operating room at this time presented a heartrending appearance. The poor children seemed to be suffering accutely from pain, and many of them were retching violently, while their mothers or friends were crying most piteously. From one to half-past three o'clock about 40 children were taken to the hospital. One of them, named Michael Russell, six years of age, who resided with his parents in New Bird street, died about 10 minutes after he was admitted, although all means were taken to save him. This is the only ease, up I to the present, wheie a fatal result has oc:urred, but several of the children are not by any means out of danger. The consequences would no doubt have been much more serious had it not been for the prompt medical assistance that the children obtained. The remedies applied were the stomach pump, emetics, stimulants, Etc. The symptoms which the children exhibited were somewhat peculiar, although they showed that the sufferers had taken some poison of a deadly nature. The children were pale, very sick, and exhausted, and when they attempted to walk they staggered about as if they were drunk, although they had the use of all their senses, the poison which they had taken evidently not pro ducing that stupifying effect which results from the taking of opium. Their pulsation was at first very low, some of them became feverish and drowsy, and their eyes were bright and protruding from the sockets, and in some of the worst eases the pupil of the eye was contracted. The quantity of the beans which the children stated they had eaten pro duced somewhat different effects. In one case, where a girl had eaten 12, her recovery was easily accomplished, whereas in the case of another child who stated that she had only eaten two beans it was for some time feared that fatal results would follow. The child who died eat, it is stated, only six of the beans. From inquiries made by the police as to how the children got the beans, it appears that about 11 o'clock in the fore noon a cart, belonging to some person at present unknown, deposited a lot of rubbish on some vacant ground belonging to the corporation, adjoining the schools connected with Great George-street Chapel, in Greenland-street, Some children began to scrape amongst the rubbish, and found a quantity of large, oily-looking beans. The little things, in their ignorance, ate some of the beans, as they had not an unpleasant taste. The news of the discovery quickly spread among the children in the locality, whose parents gene rally belonged to the poorest class, and a number joined in the search and partook of the beans, with the re sults already stated. Inspectors Moore and Southwell, hearing of the occurrence ordered the rubbish on the ground to be taken charge of by a number of policemen. Subse quently they caused it to be riddled, when upwards of a bushel of the beans was obtained. The master of the St. Barnabas School, which is close by, also took a large quan tity of beans from some of the children attending the school. The bean is known by the name of " Physostygouta vene rosa," or Calabar bean," is said to be used for dyeing or tanning purposes, and is a deadly poison. The rubbish from which it was obtained in so large a quantity by the unfortunate children is said by some to be ship sweepings and ballast taken from a vessel which has just arrived from the West Coast of Africa, while by others it is alleged to be the sweepings of a warehouse floor—but from the nature and appearance of tho rubbish the former seems to be the most likely supposition. " CROSSING . ' A WiTut.—An amusing instance of the belief in witchcraft which still prevails in acme of our rural districts occurred recently in the parish of Fearn. A woman, well known in the parish as "Neil's wife"—a reputed witch--underwent the ordeal of cross ing at the hands of a worthy cobbler whom she had threatened with the evil effects of her craft. Mrs, Neil, returning home one evening, denouncing in no measured terms the Road Trustees for having made the road too narrow by half, determined, in passing, to settle an old score with the cobbler, and summoned him outside to hear his doom. This raised the birse of the man of leather and he immediately appeared, armed with his awl and an old shoe upon which he had been operating, and, seizing the hag by the throat, laid her at his feet in a twinkling. She found it rather inconvenient either to vanish or assume the form of a hare, and the trusty broomstick was not at hand ; so, despite all her struggling and threatening, the cobbier drew the awl twice across her forehead in opposite directions, drawing blood, of course ; and Neil's wife be ca,oe in his eyes as another woman.—lnveryordon Times.

NEW BOWER OPERETTA HOUSE.—The Old Bower Theatre, so long allowed to sink into neglect has found a lessee in Mr. John Walter Timber, so long the stage•manager of Madame Vestrig, during her triumphant career at the Lyceum, who proposes to revive the fortunes of the house by giving a class of entertainment with which the frequenters of the Strand and New Royalty establish ments are familiar. The theatre has undergone great altera tion, and is now elegantly decorated. The company is a strong one, and there is every prospect of the season, com. mencing on Saturday, August 13, proving eminently suc cessful, GENESIS OF THE INCOME.TeX.—Twentyatwo years ago the Income Tax was imposed for three years only; at the end of that time its extinction was certain and fixed, like the decrees of fate. But 1845 saw it prolonged for three years, and in 1848 its term was postponed again for three years, and then for two years successively it was renewed positively for the last time and for twelve months only, until Mr. Gladstone arose in 1853, and registered a solemn TOW that it should die in 1860. It is needless to Bay that instead of dying it sprang up with greater vigour than ever, and that it is now, perhaps, the part of our syscem which has the greatest promise of permanence. SOMETHING LIK EPANEGYRIC ON THE LAUREATE. —Who is there who would not, if he could !—be a poet like our Laureate? To walk, in noble leisure, in a beautiful island, away from the crowd and bustle of men; to gaz3 at sea, and cliff, and cloud, and landscape, and let the images sink on ; to hear or quietly read of the doings of the world ; to allow thoughts to come and go, and to cherish only the select ; sometimes, when a thought or feeling brimmed over to expression, to hum or round it off in a few musical stanzas, which, when detached from the maker, should float through the air to sympathetic thousands as a new thing of beauty; at other times, when some subject of larger and more continuous interest had been chosen or had been suggested, to carry it about from day to day, rumi nating it, evolving it, artfully singing it into shape,wedding to it scores of ideas and fancies that had been lying half forgotten in the mind till the fit occasion should be found for them ; not then to be in any hurry to publish the little metri cal history, but still to retain it as one's own secret possession, going over it again and again with loving fastidiousness, strengthening it here, tasking it more sweet and exquisite there, imparting to it the last touches ct felicity in sound and phrase, and only then, and still with reluctance, letting it go—who is there that would not, if he could, choose the happiness of a life like this ? And yet, out of all those that are capable of envying such a life, how few are there with whom, if it were rendered possible, it would be anything better than a life of dilettantism or unhonoured and small Epicureanism ! How great must be Nature's part in a man to fit him for the highest capabilities of such a life; how nobly must the leisure have been earned ; what a confessed gain there must be for the world in the fact of such a leisure —what must be the magnitude, the depth, and the rarity of the thoughts that habitually come and go in the mind so privileged sad outposted to meditate and to sing! All this it is that justifies Britain in her peculiar feeling towards our Laureate. Of all that are among us doing work what man, save one or two, can be compared for the preciousness of his work, with him ?—The Rsader. CESSATION OF EMIGRATION.—The vast tide of emigration which has for so long a period flowed ceaselessly from our shore, has at length almost subsided. The fine steam vessels, in which the last place was usually filled, now depart all but empty. The large crowds who daily clamoured for passages have disappeared. So great has been the decrease of numbers that the emigration agents have reduced their charges considerably, in the hope of re suscitating their trade. The charge for steerage passage has been reduced by the Inman Company from seven guineas to five guineas, and by Messrs. Cummins Brothers to she guineas nominally. It is expected that before a month elapses the rate will be as low as £3 10s. per head. A. plen tiful harvest at home and the absence of inducement to the other side of the Atlantic appear to have acted powerfully and quickly in changing the destiny of many of our impul sive countrymen.—Cork Reporter.

A :MERCHANT'S CLAIM FOR PERSONAL 'INJURY. —ln the case of " Reddie v. lignworthy," tried at the Liverpool essiz as yesterday before Mr Baron Pigott, Mr R. M. Reddie, a china merchant, claimed compensation from Messrs. Kenworthy and Co. for injuries which he re ceived on the 29th October by the falling upon him of a bale of canvas from one of defendant's lorries. The p'aintiff at the time was passing through a shed occupied by defendants, iu order to get to a Glasgow steamer. By the accident ho was very severely injured, and is now only able to move about on crutches. Since this occurrence he has been unable to attend to any business except the reading of a letter, whereas he should have sailed to China in time for the tea season. Defendants denied the negli gence, on the ground that the men in charge of the lorry had given sufficient warning to passengers before each bale was thrown out. The jury found for the plaintiff— Damages, £5OO.
